3. CHILL AND CHARGE!
Sit back, enjoy a drink, and charge your phone in
the sun! Depending on the panel output, power
consumption of your phone, and position in
sunlight, you may get mixed results in the charge
rate. Experiment!
2. MOUNT THE PANEL AND CABLE
HOLDERS
Glue the hinge to the edge of the solar panel and
to the back of the phone case (Figure
O
). Glue
the rare earth magnet to the bottom of the solar
panel so that it is held in place flat when it’s not
being used.
Print the cable holder from the project page,
makezine.com/go/solar-phone-charger —or buy
a suitable cable holder — and glue it next to the
panel (Figures
P
and
Q
).
